Love has no agenda …

When we don’t make time for love, no matter how busy we are, we have nothing. When we do make time for love, no matter how “much” or how “little” we accomplish, we have everything. It is enough. … More

Choosing love is our destiny …

To choose love over fear, is to let go of our security blanket. It is to trust what we cannot see, to trade the tangible for the intangible. It is to realize that there will never be enough stuff to make us feel the way we hoped to feel … good enough, worthy, lovable.

But when we have reclaimed fearless love, there is no turning back. We know we ARE love. We know everything good is a byproduct of love. We know love is all we need. … More

Dear Friends …

We can tell what we’re ready for by what comes our way. And instead of lamenting what’s presented — because we were hoping for something “more” — we can be grateful for what is. When we appreciate what is, embrace it, and learn from it, we ready ourselves for what will be.

You may want your prince to show up with a kiss that magically transforms your life, but the prince isn’t going to show up until the princess is ready. Cinderella had to sweep a lot of floors and do a lot of soul searching before she got to dance with the prince … and then she had to let go of him at midnight. Only then, were they united in an ongoing dance of the heart.

So when you encounter still another floor to sweep, sweep well. When you’re challenged to search your soul and purge another layer of fear, purge well. When you encounter a beautiful human being who’s not your prince (or princess), love well.

Take joy in what is! Don’t try to squeeze yourself or somebody else into an ill-founded script. Play the role of you, stark naked you. And when you’re playing it well, your prince (or princess) will show up.… More

Men are confused! They instinctively notice women and want to be strong for them. And according to a recent study, men automatically view women as sexual.

I could have opened the door myself, but I like that he noticed me and opened the door. And I even like the idea that he saw me as sexual. It felt natural to both of us — until he stopped to think about what was politically correct.

The mere term “politically correct” is a red flag. We don’t all want to be politicians!

Force messes up equality because it implies that somebody needs a handicap. The key is to recognize that we truly are equal; and that being equal, we can be — and want to be — different.

Men and women are different. We are all different. And sometimes society’s effort to equalize us looks more like an effort to abolish the differences than honor the differences (a vital part of who we are).

We don’t all want to run to an office every morning, and we don’t all want to tend to children day and night.… More
